Abstract

This chapter gives a short introduction to nanomaterials and a description of the synthesis of nanoparticle films. It further describes in detail two nanoparticle film systems, i.e., magnetic nanocomposites in which magnetic nanoparticles are randomly distributed and nanostructured magnetic nanocomposites in which magnetic nanoparticles are embedded in a structured insulating matrix, and nanoparticle ZnO-based films.
